Coming Soon: Panama photography book.

Panama is a unique country. It is a nation of contrasting geographical features which unites Central and South America, as well as the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Its territory of 75.517 km², holds a vast variety of flora and fauna, lush landscapes, and natural resources within its tropical climate which drives economic growth.

The country that we will showcase in this book, is home to the grand Panama Canal, one of the largest works of engineering that has contributed to communication, progress and trade at the global level. International support and the leadership of visionaries from the United States made the longstanding dream of uniting two great oceans a reality. Its successful construction was a result of the skilled engineering and management of John F. Stevens and Colonel George W. Goethals. In 1977, United States and Panama ran a joint operation for the Canal´s maintenance and management through an international agreement. The Republic of Panama assumed complete responsibility for its operation on December 31st, 1999 and continues up until today. Each year 14.000 vessels with 300 million tons of goods, which is around 5% of world trade, pass through the canal.

However, Panama is not just a transit country, as it has commonly been referred to. This country is home to a rich culture which takes us from the Historic District in Panama City to the majestic skyscrapers over 70 stories high which are the headquarters of businesses, hotels, and services that are developing continuously. We then enter the tropical rainforest, bursting with magnificent flora and fauna, and welcoming natives. Without traveling too far, we reach the beautiful shores of the Caribbean, that inundate the senses with crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches.

Each nation has its own wings that inspire, a unique plumage that leaves an imprint of character and originality. This book forms part of a series that takes each reader on a journey through unique lands. To appreciate a country like Panama, we have chosen a different perspective, one that observes the landscape´s beauty from above. This is achieved through the eyes of the Harpy Eagle, Panama´s majestic national bird that has a roughly 2-meter wingspan and weighs around 9 kilos.

Each photograph brings our book to life through light, color, and the shape and texture of each landscape that emerges from this corner of the world with its tropical temperatures and stunning natural beauty.
